HE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at to minutes past Three o' Clock 4 , - ,- 4 .. - flrfi: f . - i Ziit -:*-101+ LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 14, 1836. \Vc stated yesterday that Sir C. PEPYS was ap pointed Lord Chancellor, and Mr. BICKERSTETH Master of the Rolls. We further learn that Mr. BICKERSTETH is to be created a Peer, in order to give effect to the Bill to be brought forward for separating the political from the judicial func tions of the Lord Chancellor—a measure which can not fail to give universal satisfaction to the country. The Opposition Papers arc furious at these ap pointments, which they admit are unobjectionabk in themselves, but their wrath knows no bounds, be cause they see in these appointments the determination of Ministers to persevere in rooting out the abuses in Chancery—abuses which have ruined thousands of suitors and been a disgrace to :our judicial administra tion. The assistance of that able legal Reformer, Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, is deemed as necessary in carry ing the Bill through the Commons, as those of the LORD CHANCELLOR and Mr. BICKERSTETH are in the Lords, ata the ATTORNEY-GENERAL will there fore continue to hold his present distinguished post. Lady CAMPBELL is to be created a Peeress. The newly elected Mayor, Aldermen, and Coun cillors of the City of Norwich, hare addressed his MAJESTY, thanking him for the Municipal Corpora tion Reforms, and expressing their full and entire confidence in the present Liberal Administration. We presume most humbly," says the language of this Address," to express to your Majesty the increas ing confidence we feel towards the eminent and en lightened statesmen whom your MAJESTY has chosen to continue as your advisers, and who have been enabled, by your MAJESTY'S Most Gracious as sistance, to carry through measures for the government of the nation, which are producing a wider extent of satisfaction and happiness to all classes than their most sanguine friends anticipated, whilst, at the same time, those measures are uniting into a closer and more com pact form the whole body politic with the Constitu tion." The example of respect and gratitude thus set by the Corporation of Norwich towards his MAJESTY and his chosen Ministers, will, we trust, be followed by the rest of the Municipal boroUghs ; for, if ever public boon was worth acknowledging in the most earnest and grateful terms, Corporate Reform is that one. Its good effects will not be merely of a transient character : they are destined to be eternal. They will not benefit a sect only, but a people. Hence the great outcry that has been raised against this Reform, by the more sharp-sighted among the Conservatives, who saw, from the very first mooting of the question, that it _was' caroulated to give a greater shock to their authority, than areify i t4e Reform Bill it se lf. W e for give them, however, their clamour, in consideration of , the great national benefit that has given rise to it ; and shall be right glad to hear them again in Parliament — and we are equally desirous with our high Tory Co temporary, the Times, that they should be constant in their attendance--aivina vent to their favourite 0 ominous vaticinations respecting the disasters that must inevitably, and at no distant period, result from the passing of the Municipal Reform Bill. The opposition and outcry of the Tories are always the most encouraging symptoms of the utility of a great public measure. The more fervently they declaim against it, the more deeply are we impressed with a conviction of its absolute necessity. It was thei r breathless eagerness to support the Irish Coercion Bill that made us think it even worse than it really was— bad enough as we allow it to have been—and in like manner it is their systematic, inveterate hostility to Municipal Reform, that has given that great remedial measure double value in our eyes. We subjoin the Address of the corporation of Norwich to his MA JESTY : TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. MAT IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, We, your Majesty's loyal and faithful subjects, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors of the ancient city of Norwich, Beg to approach your Majesty with feelings of deep grati tude, that that Almighty Power, by whom Kings reign and Princes decree justice, has continued to sustain you in health, and to preserve you in the midst of a grateful, a happy, and a loyal People. We feel thankful especially that your Majesty has been the willing instrument in the hand of Providence for effectuating those great moral alterations in the state of your empire, which have been called for by the progress of knowledge and the legitimate influence of a noble-minded and generous People. We see with sincere pleasure that your Majesty's acts of liberal Government, which are now elaborating their bene ficial and happy effects among , all classes of your People, do not depart from the spirit of the Constitution by which your Majesty governs, and under which we delight to be governed. We presume most humbly to express to your Majesty the increasing confidence we feel towards the eminent and en lightened Statesmen whom your Majesty has chosen to con tinue as your advisers, and who have been enabled, by your Majesty's most gracious assistance, to carry through measures for the government of the nation, which are producing a wider extent of satisfaction and happiness to all classes than the most sanguine friends anticipated, whilst, at the same time, those measures are uniting into a closer and more compact form the whole body' politic with the Constitution. We now beg to tender our assurances to your Majesty that we, your faithful Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors of Nor wich assembled will direct our utmost exertion to make effec tual for the general happiness, comfort, and prosperity of our fellow-citizens, the New C,,orporation Act, under the authority of which we arc this day met together. We take leave of your Majesty by assuring you of our attachment to your Royal House, of our ardent hopes that the blessing of Providence lay rest upon you, and that you may be in the possession of health and- peace during the remainder of your existence, and that consciousness of moral rectitude may be your solace hereafter. The whole of the Paris Papers of Tuesday have been received, together with reports of the proceedings in the Chambers of Peers and Deputies up to the departure of the mails for London. The Deputies' report will be found in another column. As the Peers continue to sit in a judicial capacity, we have consi derably abridged the details of the examinations re specting the conspiracies of April, and the meetings of the " Society of the Rights of Man." In the Chamber of Deputies, MM. BIGNON, ST. MARC GIRARDIN, SALVERT.E, GLAIZ Brzong, and LEY RAUD opposed the address, on account of several articles upon which they severally moved amendments. The speech of M. ST. MARC GIRARDIN, one of the principal Editors of the Journal des Debats, was a luminous exposition of the policy of France respect ing Poland. He stated that Prussia had put herself in the leading-strings of Russia ; that 'she had de serted the cause of European liberty ; but that much as he regretted her secession from the standard of freedom, he looked with much more sadness to the na tional disappearance of an cider sentinel of free insti tution, viz.—brave but unhappy Poland. He would not trouble the Chamber with an account of the glory, the power, and the strength of the Poland of 1772—he would not harrow up the noblest feelings of its Mein , hers by relating the acts of_treachery by which its par tition was so infamously•effected. He would merely speak of the Poland which survived -the Treaty of Vienna—of the Poland to which France and England guaranteed national independence. Puny as was the Power of which he was about to speak—shrunk as it was on all sides, appearing but the spectre of what it was—still it had free institutions, liberty of the per son, liberty of the Press, and, what was of more im portance, a Diet, the Members of which were invio lable in their persons, and unrestricted in their speech. These conceded rights formed a strong barrier against the barbarism and ambition of Russia—a barrier that would, have been impassable, had France and England acted in the spirit of great nations, jealous of their ho nour, and observant of their pledges to Poland. The rights thus secured to Poland formed a frontier of free dom against Russian aggression ; the only frontier by which Russia ever can be restrained within her natural limits. But NICHOLAS had broken down this barrier, to the inviolability of which the two Great Powers of Western Europe stood pledged to liberty and to mankind. He had moved the frontier of Russia one hundred leagues westward, thereby formally proclaiming to the whole world that- Poland no longer had a political existence. By this step he contended, that the CZAR had set France and England at open defiance—he had flung their Treaties in their very teeth—and dared them to enforce their observance, after it pleased his Imperial Majesty to set them aside. He further stated, that the fall of Poland was deplored by two of the first Statesmen and Diplo matists of the Age—the Princes METTERNICH and TALLEYRAND. The Hon. Deputy then took a sur vey of the conduct of Russia towards the Porte, and contended, that the only way to keep the Russians out of Constantinople was to stand between them and the capital of the Ottoman Empire. Every thing depended upon the timely energy of Western Europe ; but, he confessed, that he was without hope, of any thing being done while we had the power of preventing the aggressions of Russia. The Hon. Deputy was heard with marked attention, and his denunciations of the perfidious conduct of Russia elicited symptoms of ap plause and sympathy for the fate of the brave Poles. The other orators dwelt on pretty nearly the same topics, though some of them laid more stress on the question of the American indemnity, in which they contended that the honour of France had been com promised. M. BIGNON condemned the Fieschi laws, and maintained that the KING ought still to grant a political amnesty to such of the prisoners as had not imbrued their hands in the blood. of their fellow-citi zeng. Nevertheless it was evident to observers in the Chamber, from the tone assumed by Ministers, tha t the Address would be carried without any amendment. The following telegraphic despatch is officially com municated in the Moniteur : " A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, received yester day, announces that on th e preced i ng day t h e M e t eors arrived . off St. Sebastian, for th e purpose of tak i ng vengeance f o r in sults offered to the French flag by the Carlists. After wait ing to receive the first shot, she returned such a warm and well-directed fire upon the Carlists, that they were obliged to send a flag of truce, with an assurance that in future the French flag should be respected. Deplorable excesses were committed at Barcelona on the 4th inst. Upwards of 100 prisoners were massacred by the populace in the citadel. The body of Colonel O'Donnel was horribly mutilated. The dis turbance continued on the sth. The lives of all persons sus pected of Carlism were threatened. On the 4th, upon re ceiving an aecount of these disorders, General Mina left San Lorenzo for Barcelona." We deeply regret the murderous excesses committed by the Spanish peasantry. But scenes of the kind here referred to, are almost inseparable from the most direful scourge with which society can be afflicted—a state of civil war. During the sitting of the Court of Peers on IVIon- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1836 day, Mr. BEAUMONT, a British subject, was tried for being a member of the Society of the Rights of Man, and conspiring against the French Government. By the advice of Mr. O'CONNELL, Mr. BEA UNIONT protested against the authority of the Court ; the law under which he was to be tried ; and claimed to be released on the ground that he was a British subject. The Court heard him with much pati ence, but overruled the whole of his objections. Mr. BEAUMONT had previously submitted the parti culars of his detention to the English Government. We shall await the sentence of the Peers of France before expressing an opinion on the conduct of the Government with respect to Mr. BEAUMONT. The question is very likely to be brought under the consi aeration of Parliament as soon as the Session shall' have fairly commenced. PARIS, JAN. 11.—A letter from Brest of the 7th says, "The 127th, 128th, 130th, and 131st permanent companies of the division of crews of the line of this port will embark, it is said, on the 10th on board the Sante Petre, which will go into the road the same day, and be soon followed by the Jena. The Jupiter (of the line) is quite ready for sea, and it is sup posed it will sail for Martinique between the 10th and 20th of this month. The Terpsichore frigate will probably sail at the same time. The Dryade frigate is to lie-repaired. ' It is affirmed that Marshal Settle will not go to the Chamber of Peers this year, and will not quit his seat at St. Anans. On Thursday, at midnight, three Messageries, escorted by soldiers of the Municipal Guard of Paris, passed through the• city of Amiens, going to the .citadel of Doullens. It is affirmed that these carriages contained about 40 persons con demned for political offences. A Ministerial paper says, '‘.‘ Placards hare been posted up a Nimes during the night demanding Brind or Death.' " Though a certain class of the citizens is in great distress at this moment, it does not seem that these placards originate with them ; on the contrary, they seem grateful for the efforts of the Magistrates to relieve them, and for the assistance which they give. The Indicateur of Bordeaux says, that the damage done by the fire in the wine magazines at Chartrons is happily much less than was at first said. The two magazines are not wholly destroyed, and many hogsheads seem to have been saved. It is even affirmed, that the insurance companies will not have to pay above 200,000 francs.--:Messager, Jan. 12. FRENCH FUNDS.PA JANVART 12. Five per Cents., 108 f. 55c. 50e. 65c. 60e.

Petpe tuelles, The Paris Papers of Tuesday, bring advises from Madrid to the sth instant, and through other channels we have various communications from the north of Spain. It appears that the announced capture of the petty village of Guetaria by the Carlists was prema ture, as the outskirts of the village are only in pos session of the rebels. Had it not been for the drunken ness of so►ne twenty soldiers, to whom the defence of the place was entrusted, even this would not have taken place. It is rather amusing to listen to the Post's fiftieth recapitulation of theAcriertions of the Chris tinos, and the growing power of the Monk-KING and his army. " For the fun of the thing" we are tempted to quote the following article. given by our Tory Con temporary yesterday, and preceded by a flourish of trum pets as loud as proclaimed the victories of the Duke of WELLINGTON. At the same time we would premise that the advocacy of the Post is almost always ()tui tions of ruin to those whom our Contemporary takes under his protection. We have long remarked that just before the breaking-down of any party the Post was sure to step in as a protector, covering it with an xis much more vulnerable than invisible " On the 3d instant four peceleros of Zarandaja's column joined the ranks of his Majesty's army; and since the 15th the following have likewise deserted :—Two Englishmen, with their arms, belonging to the garrison of Vittoria ; a ser grant and a corporal, one from the province of Soria, and the otherfrom that of La Quebla : a pecetero from Pastor's band, and a soldier of the regiment of Almanza ; Don Antonio Gar cia, a distinguished sergeant of the 15th regiment of the line; a soldier of that corps, and an artilleryman ; a soldier of the 4th Light Infantry, and another of that of Soria, coming from Isabella's troops in Navarre ; a Lieutenant of the regiment ot Sarragosa ;' three sergeants, of whom two are from the regi ment of Almanza, and the other from the 4th Light Infantry ; a pecetero and trumpeter from Burgos : these have come from Bilboa and other garrisons of Biscay." Let our readers well weigh the extent of these losses, and then tell us how can any Government pre sume to stand against them ? No fewer than two— yes two !—of the valiant British mercenaries, as the Post calls them, and whom the same Post has an hun dred times told us would swoon at the cocking of a pistol, have actually deserted—and that too without flinging their firelocks in a ditch—and joined the army of Don CARLOS ! But this catastrophe, fearful as it is, might be remedied had not DON ANTONIO GARCIA, the distinguished ser jea,nt, also joined the deserters from the Constitu tional camp. Then, again, the valiant Corporal, and puffing Trumpeter, whose names are not yet recorded, must be a vast accession of strength to the Post's- Anointed—Don CARLOS ! But why should the , names of these latter distinguithed worthies remai❑ unrecorded ? In justice to such surpassing valour and long-winded loyalty, the Post is bound by its prin ciples to dispatch a courier to Onate, the head-quar ters of the Post-King and his army, to learn the names, birth-places, pedigrees, and adventures of tile Corporal and Trumpeter, who are about to drive con stitutional freedom from the Spanish soil. But lo we had overlooked the zeal of our Contemporary in satisfying the legitimate curiosity of martial-minded Governesses, and hero-loving Lady's-maids. Yes —o n referring a second time to the article published in the Post,—we find that La Quebla and Burgos had the honour to give birth to those illustrious worthies whose fame is destined to spread to the uttermost ends of the earth. Whether any of the ancestors of this valiant trumpeter assisted at Jericho we cannot tell ; b u t we only await the coronation of Don CARLOS in the capital to pronounce his brazen blast more terrible than the rams' horns of Israel. We have only one question to trouble the Post with, and we beg to ask it for the information of those fair damsels who peruse most attentively our Contemporary's warlike lucubra tions ; and that is—Pray what may be the ages of the corporal and trumpeter--what the semblance of their exterior—and—and—we almost blush as we ask it— are they provided with helpmates ? The accounts from Spain are, on the whole, exceed ingly favourable. The popularity of MENDIZABAL increases. We have received Brussels and German Papers. Extracts from them will be found in another part of The Sun. Married, at Christ's Church, City, by the Rev. G. Everard, Capt.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are a Calais and a Flanders mail. No ship letters. We have received the Journal du Commerce of Antwerp, of yesterday's date, bringing the Amsterdam prices of the 11th instant—Two and-a-half per cents, 56 1-16 ; Five per cents, 103 1-5 ; Ardoin's Loan, 51-a. A Ministerial French paper, received by the express from Paris, contradicts the rumour that the French Government officially notified to Lord Granville, that the explanation given by General Jackson in his message, was satisfactory ; and that the payment of the twenty-five millions would no longer be delayed. It likewise appears, by the same authority, that 100 Carlist prisoners have been massacred in the city of Barcelona, and that the French Government sent a ship of war to St. Sebasti an , t o t a k e re v en ge on the Carlists for firing into a French ship. This'vessel has done her duty, and caused the Carlists to make the anzende honourable, by a message to the Commander, that in future they will respect the French flag. THE FU\DS. Consols closed yesterday at 921 g for the Account, and 91* for Money.

Some agents of Don Carlos have caused a report to be spread (says a French Paper) that Austria was about to re cognize him as King of Spain; but if our information does not deceive us, we believe the contrary, and that the politics of Austria are more and more, on the question of the Penin sula, adhering to those of France and England ; and that if a recognition is to take place at Vienna, it will be favourable to the Constitutional Throne.

REFORM CI, us.—An effort having been made to establish a Conservative Club at Hatfield, a meeting was called on Monday of Reformers, for the purpose of form ing a counter Association, which was numerously .and most respectably attended. N. Calvert, Esq., presided, when several resolutions were adopted, and a central committee appointed, consisting of several influential persons. A dreadful accident occurred about eight o'clock yesterday morning, in the Park-road, Regent's-park, to a young man named George Richardson, servant to Lieut. Findlay, of South-bank, Regent's-park, who was proceeding along the Park-road with a horse belonging to his master, w h e n, from the slippery state of the road, owing to the frost, the horse fell, and the rider was precipated with dreadful violence to the ground, by which his right arm was broken below the elbow joint, and his skull dreadfully frac tured. He was immediately removed on a shutter to the, hospital, where he now lies in so dreadful a state, that no hopes are entertained of his recovery. ELECTION MOVEMENTS.—SviriptOMS of elec tioneering warfare have begun to manifest themselves in three of the Counties in Scotland ,Argyll, Caithness, and Peebles. Although the contest is yet in embryo, says the Edinburgh Advertiser (a Tory Paper), we have no fears about the result in one and all of these, should an appeal to their respective constituents be rendered necessary. The County that has first taken the field is Argyllshire. EXPORTATION OF THE PRECIOUS METALS,— The usual return made by the Customs of the exportation of the precious metals from the sth to the 12th instant, inclusive, amounts to 2,889 ounces of gold, and 15,496 of silver ; the former in value about 8,556/., and the lat ter 3,8741., accordinr , to the Alint price for the ounce of s tandard gold and silver : of which 249 ounces of gold was exported to British 'West India, and 996 ounces of silver coin for the same destination ; also 2,640 ounces of gold to India, 15,000 ounces of silver coin to Calais, and 500 ounces of silver coin to Boulogne. Old Christmas morning, a party of young men, on their return home from a festive meeting, discovered the body of an aged person lying in a marshy ditch, which, on examination, proved to be that of a poor, infirm old woman, named Campbell. It is supposed that in attempting to cross the ditch she had fallen, and being unable to rise, from having formerly lost the use of her right arin by paralysis, she, in consequence, was exposed throughout the night to the inclemency of the season, which, there is no doubt, was the cause of her death.—Edinburgh Courant. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY HASLOCK V. FERGIAON. This was an action for money had and received, tried be fore Lord Chief Justice Denman, at the last sittings at Guild ball, in which the plaintiff was nonsuited. The facts were as follows :—The plaintiff, who is a warehouseman, carrying on business in the City, had been applied to by a Mrs. Barnes for goods, and she gave a reference to the defendant, who is a linendraper, of King's-street, Covent Garden. Application having been made at the defendant's shop, his foreman, Joshua Hobson, gave the plaintiff a satisfactory reply as to Mrs. Barnes's respectability and solvency, and on the faith of that guarantee, goods to the amount of about 300/. were supplied her, which she sold, and paid the proceeds over to the de fendant. Lord Denman having given it as his opinion that the evidence of Hobson could not be received without proof of authority from the defendant Ferguson, the plaintiff was nonsuited. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now moved for a rule to show cause why the nonsuit should not be set aside and a new trial had, on the ground—first, that evidence was improperly re jected ; and, secondly, that even on the evidence as it stood, there was a sufficient case to go to the Jury. The Learned Counsel contended at some length, that according to the pro visions of the statute, in all cases of conspiracy which the present clearly was, the evidence of false representations made was admissible. The gist of the action in the case before their Lordships was, that the goods were the property of the and that he had parted with them in consequence of the representations made by the defendant's servant. Courr—Yoti may take a rule.—Rule granted. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY). HODGES V. GRAY. This was an action to recover damages for several breaches of covenant. It was tried before. Lord Abinger at the Lon don Sitting after last Term, when a verdict passed for the plaintiff. Mr. HUMFREY now moved for a new trial on several grounds. The plaintiff was Mr. Hodges the distiller. He had advanced a large sum of money, and entered into a partnership with the defendant, a very celebrated chemist. By the deeds there en tered into, the defendant covenanted that while the partner ship lasted he should carry on the business in a proper manner, and at all times give entrance to customers and the plaintiff's. It was proved on the trial that the defendant shut up the shop three days before the expiring of the partnership, and kept the defendant out of possession for fifteen days longer—and the Jury found damages for the three days 1001., and for the fifteen days 501. The Learned Gentleman contended that as, the concern was proved to have been a losing concern during the whole of the partnership, these damages were excessive. There were several other counts upon which the Jury had found for the plaintiff, but as they were merely nominal, he would say nothing about them—they must be settled by a Court of Equity. He conceived from the summing up of the Judge, that he thought the damages were excessive. Lord MUNGER did not think the verdict ought to be dis turbed. There would be no doubt but that the shutting up of a chemist shop in such a neighbourhood as Bond-street for eighteen days, would be very prejudicial, and the damages were a very fit subject for the Jury to determine. Rule refused. STKACEY V. BLAKE. This was an action for an attorney's bill, tried before Lord Abinger, at the sittings after last Term, when a verdict passed for the defendant. Mr. HUMFREY now moved for a rule Nisi for a new trial, on the ground of the verdict being against evidence, and misdi rection on the part of the Learned Judge. The defendant Blake was a guard to a mail-coach, who was charged with having insulted a lady who was a passenger in the coach. She was the lady of Captain Pinfold, who complained to the Post office authorities, and Blake was turned out of his situation. He brought an action for libel against the Captain, and it was for the expences of that action the present action was brought. The defendant put in several letters, in order to show that the action was brought by Stracey himself, making use of Blake's name as plaintiff. The Learned Judge took that view of the case, and so charged the Jury. The Learned Gentleman read several letters from Blake to Stracey, in which he made promises of advances of money. It was proved at the trial that the defendant inserted the name of Mr. Rossier in his schedule in the Insolvent Debtors' Court by the contrivance of the plaintiff, who said it would look odd that there-should only be the name of Capt. Pinfold in it. The plaintiff at the time told this to Mr. Rossier, who was the attorney in the cause, and also that he would not be prejudiced by it, for he ( Straccy) was his debtor. The name of Stracey did not ap pear in the schedule, but the Learned Gentleman at great length contended, that though that was pleaded to have been by the connivance of Mr. Stracey, and was not denied on the record, still that did not amount to an admission, as the Learned Judge told the Jury. Rule refused, because there was evidence in the cause that the fact was admitted by both sides that the name was omitted. IMPROVEMENT OF THE METRO POLIS. The following letter, with the accompanying plan for the improvement of the Metropolis, has been sent to upwards of thirty Members of Parliament : " DEAR send you the outlines of a plan for the improvement of the Metropolis. The great increase of car rivres calls for an immediate enlargement of the public streets. The tax proposed is very small compared to the loss of time. It would be very desirable if Southwark and Waterloo Bridges could be thrown open, as it would relieve London, Blackfriars, mid Westminster Bridges. I have written to all the Members comprised in the list of Commissioners, request. ing them to meet me at 24, Great George-street, on Monday, the Bth of February, at one o'clock, when I hope it will be convenient for you to attend. " I remain your's truly, " MATTHEW WOOD. " Hatherley Court, near Gloucester, Jan. 12, 1836. Alderman Wood proposes the following improvements in London, Middlesex, and Surrey :- 1.

Estimated expense, 850,0001. .It is proposed to raise 6d. per ton on coals imported into London, which will produce on an average of the last three years, 51,7651. per annum. This sum would provide for the interest and final liquidation of 1,000,000/., raised at 3- per cent., in thirty-two years and a half; if at 4 per cent., in thirty-eight years. Board of Commissioners, free of any expense for attend ance, to consist of all the Metropolitan Members ' • also those for Kent, Surrey, Essex, and Hertfordshire ; four Magistrates each for Middlesex, London, and Surrey ; and eight Mem bers from the Court of Common Council of the City of London TITRES.-At the breaking up of a school before the holidays, in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, th e master, according to his practice, put questions to the pupils, to discover, as he said, their quickness and acuteness. On asking them if they had ten turkeys laid before them, all of the same size, and if asked which of them they would take as a present for dinner, they remained for some time mute, until one of the youngest answered—" The fattest and finest to be sure." " Right," said the master, " thou art truly fit to be a Parson." Yesterday the neighbourhood of Middlesex-street, Whitechapel, was thrown into much confusion, owing to an attempt at self destruction by a man named John Russell, a comic singer, well known at the east end of the town. It appears that he went to bis sister's house, in Horshoe-alley, Middlesex-street, and after a few minutes' conversation pro ceeded into the water-closet, where he was shortly after wards discovered with his throat cut in a dreadful manner ; medical assistance was immediately procured, who advised that he should be taken to the London Hospital, where he now lies in a dangerous state. His friends cannot assign any reason for his committing the rash act. A LONG-LIVED FANIILY.—In the church-yard of Broughtonin-Furness, is a tombstone, recording the names and ages of seven persons, relations, who, except one, have attained a much greater age than generally allotted to man : —T. Watters, died March 14, 1748, aged 101 years ; Mary, his wife, April 22, 1749, aged 94 ; Rebecca, wife of J. Casson, July 26, 1760, aged 40 ; W.

An action has been "commenced in the Court of Common Pleas by Mr. Raphael, as Returning Officer of Finsbury, against Mr. T. Duncombe .h . ir the expenses of the last election.

The Marquis of Wellesley is employing his time at present writing a history of his Administration in the East Indies. This will be an interesting work, and judging from the writings and eloquent speeehes of the Marquis in early life, the composition will be distinguished by the accuracy of its arrangement and the elegance of the diction. 4 REPRESENTATION OF GLASGOW.-AII private negotiations with influential persons in England to succeed Mr. Colin Dunlop having failed, there is talk of several of our own citizens being proposed. Besides Mr. Douglas, we have heard mentioned Mr. W. Stirling, Mr. Johnston, and Mr. Dixon.—Glasgow Chronicle. Parliament is to meet on the 4th of February, by which. day every Liberal Member that wishes to discharge his duty to his constituents will be found at his post. Mi nisters, it is expected, will open the campoign in a spirit of fearleis fidelity to the people who have supported them so well. • Hull has no occasion to remind its representativ e s of `their duty.

The measles are very prevalent in Lincoln, several children having lately died ; four were interred on Sunday in one grave, at St. Swithin's. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.--TIIC ne'v year is bissextile ; the figures forming its date are 1-8,3-6 ; the two first figures are the quantity of the two latter ; each two figures combined make 9, the four make 18, which two figures combined maLe 9 ; multiply the date df this year by 9 ; the product is 16,524, which figures added together make 18. Such a combination rarely occurs. - Saturday last 1,550 barrels of gunpowder, purchased of Government for the service of the Queen of Spain, were taken from the magazine at Dover Casle, and shipped on board the Good Intent brig in the harbour, for Spain. • On Monday night died, at the advarich . l age of 90, Mrs. Copley, the mother of Lord Lyndhurst.. This esti mable lady, besides the proud gratification of vv itizessing the well earned honours of her eminent son, had the pleasure of enjoying his society throughout her long life, haying, we believe, never lived a p ar t f rom hi m.

I have seen a gentleman just arrived from the South of Russia, who says that large reinforcements were fleing sent to the army in Caucasus. In reply to n.my question, as to how the Russians were getting on there, he. said, " They gain territory, I believe, but every piece of ground as large as this room costs them a thousand men !" T7ie.we is the true bulwark of our Indian empire—why don't we attend to it ? Attempts are made to excite alarm among the Mu nicipal Council at Boston, and to deter them from dis charging the old Town Clerk by the circulation of rumours greatly exaggerating the amount of compensation to be claimed by that functionary. The sums talk:ed about vary from 6,000/. to 8,000/. Unfortunately for this hypothesis the opinion of the Attorney-General as to the illegality of his appointment, will tend greatly to reduce, if not totally to annihilate, this monstrous claim—greater in amount than the purchase of the fee simple of his office.—Lincoln Gazette. SIR W. A. INGILBY, BART.—The Lindsey Libe rals will be glad to hear that their Knight is in the full en joyment of good health ; and that their interested report of his intention not to abide their call, is false. The re— quisitions have already been too numerously and too respect ably signed, either to admit the idea of a refusal, or a doubt of his triumphant success. Lady Ingilby is also, we are happy to inform them, so much recovered that g►he.may be pronounced convalescent.—Lincoln Gazette. The grand opening dinner of the Carlton Club is expected to take place about the Ist of February. It will be attended by nearly all the noblemen and gentlemen of Conservative principles, many of whom will come to town for the eipress purpose of celebrating the event. Their late club-house on Carlton terrace is now untenanted. With the history of a beautiful Divorcee, once the wife of a Noble Law Lord, up to the time of her quitting England with a foreigner of distinction, everybody is ac quainted. Her after-fate is little known, still less can the admirers of romance in real lifbe acquainted with the curious facts that have just tranqred—but only in a still small whisper—in Bavaria, where the frail fascinator has been for some time residing. A little narrative, to appear in the Court Journal, of Saturday, will, we understand, furnish another proof that " Truth is strange---stranger than fiction." The statement of a Windsor paper that their Ma jestics do not intend to return to Brighton after the 'Open- ing of the Session, has not, we are happy to say, the slightest foundation in fact. According to present arrange ments, her Majesty will go town with the King, and imme- diatcly . after the Parliament has been opened their Ma jesties will return to Brighton, and remain here about a :. fortnight before they take their. final departure for the season.-.._.B;'ighto►n Gazette. 1; .11( 11€ 11:1; ti cc( ii 11.1 tz - I)
